Lens for Melbourne Trip

Knowing how dim and low light it can become each day when I can really relax over a decent meal – dinner, I am beginning to wonder if a F/1.4 is what I should shoot with this trip round.

Besides, it wise to shoot different focal length on each trip so as to keep the creative juice flowing on photography.  Wide enough at very low light? Nikkor 35mm F/1.8G it is. Well, my last Japan work trip (see blog archive) was shot exclusively on a 50mm F/1.4!

Mind you, the Nikkor 35mm is one of the sharpest lens I have seen and own for a while now.  Speedlight? Probably not. O yeah, for a few hundred grams more, why not the Nikkor 10-24mm too.

Done.

The Race is On!

Looks like I will not be able to breathe soon as I will leave for Kuala Lumpur Malaysia after Melbourne, followed by Tokyo, Shanghai, Beijing and Shenyang! When I can breathe for a split, I will be back in Japan again in October.

Well, as to all my faithful readers of this little blog, yes, you will probably see before your eyes another 10 cities explored before 2010 draws to a close from a “shoot-and-go” Business IT Advisor.

It should be fun!

Melbourne is going to be Really Tight!

Just when I thought my last Thailand trip was really tight in schedule to deliver the client’s demand in record time, Melbourne is going to be significantly worse!

With weekends on my side while in Thailand, I’ve got nothing to work with but weekdays to get the deal done for Melbourne. And I wonder if I can pull any tricks up to shoot at all.

Anyway, I will bring my D300s along, and hope to get something out of mere nothing. Perhaps, during meals and evenings I guess.
